You might not think

an eight-year-old

boy would have much in common with a lady who turns 101 this year. Then again, with a 92-year head start on life, she just might have some pretty interesting stories to tell. Henry Wiering thinks so about his great-great aunt Clinton resident Hazel Bray.

Although Henry lives in Tennessee with his family, he has been able to visit Hazel on trips up north. As the 100th day of school approached in 2013, he began thinking more and more about Hazelís turning 100 that same year.
